TV NEWS JULY 12

BET Networks and Viacom will rename Centric cable network to BET Her
beginning on September 25, 2017. Just a bit of history, Centric was
previously called BET on Jazz, then renamed to BET Jazz, then BET J,
before turning into Centric in 2009. Now come this fall, Centric turns
into BET Her. Targeting African American Women 25-54, BET Her takes its
rightful place within the BET family as it more closely aligns with the
flagship brand. BET Her will invite viewers on a journey through music,
culture, travel and lifestyle - everything that is important to "Her"
being. The only network dedicated to African American women 24 hours a
day. Currently Centric airs Family Matters, The Soul Man, Eve, Half & Half, and In the House. No word on any programming updates just yet.
